I seek clarification from the Minister of State on the subject of transparency in respect of members' organisations that are engaged in lobbying. I refer to subsection (4)(b)(iii), which amends section 5 of the principal Act to create the new subsections (5)(2)(d) and (5)(2)(e). From my reading, this will amend the 2015 Act such that where a person is a representative body or an issue-based organisation that has no employees, it must supply the name of every person who is a member of the organisation. Might it be possible for a body evade an obligation under this provision by hiring somebody even on a part-time basis, thereby bypassing the regulation? I would appreciate clarification on this.
